The 2026 Ford Ranger Raptor is the closest thing to a factory desert racer you can register and drive to work. It pairs a 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6, seven drive modes including full Baja, and 2.5-inch Fox Live Valve shocks with a genuine SuperCrew cabin. This first look walks the whole truck: the widened body, the 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Performance LED lights, the leather-and-red-stitching interior, and how it stacks up against the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Chevy Colorado ZR2.
